I helped a friend of mine install a new western digital 120gb hard drive. This was on tuesday night. The instal was successful, drive letter assigned, formatted and all that. He transfered his data over from his main drive. It was one folder that contained 75gb of data. Then wednesday night the new drive began to do the heavy clicking when he was just on ie and aim. Windows cant recognize the drive. It cant boot up with the drive installed. I placed it in a usb enclosure, it clicks it can be seen in device manager, but not windows explorer.
It seems like the drive is toast. Is there any way to recover the data?
Thanks for any help.
